TWO POEMS FOR MEMORIAL DAY
“Memorial Day ‘70”
Never to forget—
all our dreams undreamed.
Never to forget—
our children uncreated.
Never to forget—
the loved ones we left waiting;
their hopes, their lives unclasped from ours.
Never to forget—
our voices young, our laughter strong.
Never to forget—
our places are held by your memories.
Never to forget—
our victories on the football field,
debates we won, songs we sung,
our baby shoes and first tuxedo,
fishing poles and rock collection,
the cowlick time would never tame—
Please don’t forget each soldier’s name.
